Forum: Husbands Discussing Infertility

I have been banking embryos and will soon start transferring. I only have 3 embryos. If they don't work, my husband wants to use DE. I made him an offer. One DE baby with his sperm and one DE baby with my brother's sperm. DH totally freaked out. He's fine with me carrying a baby not genetically...

My wife and I are living apart, but we are just starting to try to conceive, so we are going to do frozen IUI. My sperm count, motility, and morphology are all very good. The problem is that my semen volume is not very high. Does anyone have any tips for increasing volume? Any supplements,...

I had semen analysis and the doctor said I had 12million/ml and total was 75 million. I was told that the concentration should be greater than 20million/ml but the total is good. I don t understand if this is normal or not. All the other parameters are normal

Hi, i'm new here, and a recent thought popped into my head as I was discussing our plans of trying again to have a baby this year. As I was speaking about what needed to be done in order for us to conceive a baby, I caught my husband auto tuning me (pretending to listen me, lol). Crazy thing is I...

Men…men dealing with infertility, I’m here to tell you, you’re not alone! Though we lift our wives out of the pits of desperation, we strive to keep our heads a float, searching the one true foundation of strength, God. I am a survivor of the disease known as infertility. I treaded the waters of...

My DH and I have recently gone through our 3rd mc in the last 1 1/2 years. The doc says that our chances would be better if we did IVF with ds. That is a lot to take in as we both never saw ourselves going down that road. How did you men feel when being told that this was your best option? ...

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes before you start seeing improvements in your S/A after an embolisation? just got mine done last week....:)

My wife and I have been married for almost 4 years now, been together a total of 7, and we've been trying for children for about 3 years now with no luck. We've been seeing a fertility specialist for over a year now and my wife has been on a cocktail of hormone treatments all along up until a few...

Has anyone gone for the DNA Fragmentation test? I was just reading about it. http://www.malereproduction.com/sperm_chromatin_structure.html I had the varicocele repair done, I am thinking of asking my doc to run the test. What was some other peoples experience with this test if any? thanks.

So, I am not sure if my RE will tell my husband to go to a Urologist but I would like to find a good one for him just in case and I wouldn't send him to anybody less than amazing. Did your DH go to any urologist he found amazingly great? :) And who accepts (by any chance) Oxford Liberty? In New...

We were just diagnosed with DH having a variocele and so we are obviously not able to conceive. Unfortunatley our insurance doesn't cover him to have it fixed so we will be paying out of pocket for it ( 3000 dollars). Anyone else out there had this done and what were your results? Our doctor...

Does anyone know anything about how to treat male sperm antibodies. My DH has them due to his vasectomy/reversal. His motility is 0-2% at best. We are willing to try anything to help. We have done antioxidants, multi vitamins and healthy oils. I've heard some herbs work and potentially...

Husbands (or wives in-the-know): I know there are scatterings of tips about vitamins and things that helped sperm count/motility/etc, but I'm trying to compile one big list. Anyone know of a tip that helped their sperm improve? Thanks!!!

I'm not sure how popular this forum is, but I guess I'm looking for a male perspective on this. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years ... 3 years going to the fertility clinic. We've done 5 IUI's, 3 IVF's, all failed. One pregnancy that ended in miscarriage. From the...

Hi, I hope that I am not intruding on this board. I apologize if I am. I was just wondering what the opinion of men would be on this issue. My present (2nd) husband, who happens to be wonderful ( a world away from my ex) was presented with a solution to our infertility problem but is having trouble...

Does anyone have the issue where DW lost their sex drive. I mean none, almost does not want does not think about sex at all. I was wondering if this was a side effect of any of the Meds. Also is there anything that I can suggest to the RE to give her to increase it. I know when I started...

My husband and i have been TTC for 3 years with about 1.5 years under going tests and treatments. We are going into our second cycle of IUI. We are both havin a really hard time with this, and its starting to put strain on our marriage. We know we love each other, and keep telling each other if we...

I've been trying for the past 4 years to get him to quit. He's quit 3 times, but then he starts back. While he was in Egypt, he quit for 2 months for a stupid bet, but then he started back as soon as the bet was over. Anyhow, he said he couldn't quit before he's deployed and he says he can't quit...

What test did all you DHs do before starting a cycle, ether IUI or IVF. They are questing HIV, SMA, Hepatitis, and Syphilis (RPR). What tests did you do?

DW and I want to go to another fertility clinic. We are in the Pittsburgh, PA area (north). We are considering Magee and the Jones Institute in the area... We had bad experiences at RHS. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!
